Hope Well 2018 Estate Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon

Mimi’s second year with Chardonnay from Hope Well revealed a more refined version of what promises to be a distinctive voice. Pressed cold, the juice went to tank for one day, then straight to barrel with all but the green lees, and fermented cooler and more slowly than the 2017. The result is a definitive aromatic expression and nuance of flavors that ramp up the excitement for the years to come
